Misogyny dictates that a woman is always "too something."
In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest @HarvardBiz article for solutions. hbr.org/2023/06/women-in-lea…

45 or older is the right age for men or women. You think you know everything at 30 but when get to 50 you change some of what you once thought and fine tune it.

I LITERALLY wrote a song called If I'm Too Much - the entire premise being "if I'm too much: good. That's a YOU problem, and has ZERO to do with me." When someone's fire burns brightly, you have two options: run away or join flames.

In your case: too incompetent, too inexperienced, and too crazy.

Every leader is told they are too something to lead. It because the current leaders don't want to be replaced. Leaders don't listen and lead anyways. That's what makes them leaders.

You are too looney-liberal to be POTUS. Is that misogynistic?

Society's persistent dismissal of women based on age is a reflection of deeply entrenched gender stereotypes. But guess what? We won't be confined by arbitrary standards! Age should never define a woman's worth or her ability to lead. Let's shatter those glass ceilings together!

Research has only just begun to investigate how age is used to justify bias and discrimination specifically against women. Gendered ageism sits at the intersection of age and gender bias and is a double whammy where there is “no right age” for professional women.
